This week’s men’s qualifiers have got me thinking how I would feel if it was the women heading to
Qatar next year, and the truth is I’d have mixed feelings, to say the least. We’d certainly be having a conversation about it in our Sweden dressing room.
One advantage of being a female footballer, I suppose, is that we’ve always had to speak up for ourselves. Right through my career, in almost every interview, there’s been a bigger topic to address – for a long time it was promoting women’s football – and so maybe it comes easy now.
